Facing Your Own Weakness

Posted on | May 24, 2009 | 1 Comment

No one likes it (I sure don’t) but facing your own weakness is a necessary evil.

It is the only way to get stronger.

Lets be honest here – working on a weakness is uncomfortable, painful and agonizing.

Unfortunately, the only way to address a weakness is to work on it and go through the discomfort and shame.

Why is it so tough, anyway? My guess is that a along with legitimate physical discomfort there is much mental distress – our ego gets uncomfortable. We ignore our weaknesses to feed ourselves a story of how awesome we are. Focusing on a weak link, brings us to a reality that we may not want to see.

Regardless of what we want, our weak links are here to stay unless we look at them, examine weakness in detail and address it.

What is your weak spot and what are you doing to address it?

    My weak spot is definately the rack position. Trying to “rest” in that position is merely impossible for me. I think the answer for e is practice rack meditations.- Peace.
